Essential task management for virtual team leaders with Phil Lowe

Do these problems sound familiar?

• "Getting my team to do what i want is like herding cats"
• "I can't delegate anything as I'm not sure the people in question have the skills"
• "I've delegated a task but the team member hasn't done it"
• "I have trouble prioritising - Everything seems to be super urgent"
• "I try and set goals for the team but they always end up rather vague and no one's sure what they should be doing"
• "I was supposed to be having an hour with each team 1:1 to talk about development - but some urgent stuff meant we never did"

Being 'the boss' is supposed to be a ticket to getting everyone to do what you want. But in the modern organisation the management of tasks is difficult enough when there's just you. Add in a virtual team as well and it requires some diligent planning and confident organisation.

The planning and organisation you can achieve by following the guidance in this virtual training workshop. As a result of attending, you will:

• Be able to write focused, actionable goals for you and your team members
• Understand why you regularly put off really important tasks and how to get them higher up your to-do list.
• Know how to delegate tasks successfully - whether the individual can do them or not - and manage your virtual role
• Deal with tasks which you shouldn't be doing but which you find yourself saying 'yes' to.

This workshop will take you through helpful models which will clarify your thinking and enable you to plan diligently how first you and then your team can get a sense of priority and focus, and how you can use a flexible approach to delegating which takes account of the level of competence and motivation of each individual, and still allows you to delegate effectively.

Practical individual and group exercises will allow you to practise the concepts and get feedback while on the workshop, so you're not left alone to implement everything 'cold'.

This is the start of your journey to a mastery of task management that will bring clarity and efficiency to you and your team - not to mention more time.
